  Confidence is not like an immunization jab. Its not  something that can simply be injected into us through motivational  exercises and positive thinking. Confidence comes  almost  exclusively  from experience and self-knowledge.   Millions of smart people are held back by a lack of this  self-knowledge  and unwittingly generate the kind of  self-reinforcing behaviour that leads to low confidence.  In the follow-up to the groundbreaking bestseller,  Whats Stopping You?, with his very  British approach to self-help, Robert Kelsey draws on  extensive research and personal experience to provide a road map to  help break down the barriers that make us shy away from achieving  our true potential.  Whats Stopping YouBeing More Confident? is  aimed at helping to highlight the key reasons why you might  be lacking confidence in the first place, what causes self-doubt or  makes you feel less able than others.   Then we are shown how to turn this around, by examining  the traits that make someone confident, developing tactics for  maintaining self-assurance and learning how to apply these in  real-life practical situations.  Confidence is about knowing what were good at, but also  realizing what were not good at. Once we have come to  understand and accept this, we can truly learn how to develop and  sustain true confidence.

  The world's most popular products, from the iPhone to Google Search, were funded not by private companies, but the taxpayer.In this sharp and controversial international bestseller, an award-winning economist debunks the pervasive myth that the government is sluggish and inept, and at odds with a dynamic private sector. She reveals in detailed case studies that the opposite is true: the state is, and has been, our boldest and most valuable innovator. Denying this history is leading us down the wrong path. A select few get credit for what is an intensely collective effort, and the U.S. government has started disinvesting from innovation. The repercussions could stunt economic growth and increase inequality. Mazzucato teaches us how to reverse this trend before it is too late.

  Adam Smith - A Very Short...

  Christopher J. Berry

  In 1776 Adam Smith (1723-90) wrote The Wealth of Nations, a book so foundational that it has led to him being called the "father of economics." Today he is associated with the promotion of self-interest, a defense of greed and a criticism of any governmental "interference" in market transactions which, if left to the "invisible hand," will produce prosperity and liberty. Yet if Smith is actually read these associations are more a caricature than a faithful portrait.In this Very Short Introduction, Christopher Berry offers a balanced and nuanced view of this seminal thinker, embedding his fierce defense of free trade, competition, and assault on special interests in contemporary European history, politics, and philosophy. As Berry explores, Smith was more than an economist. In addition to his two major works he also wrote a pioneering study of the history of astronomy as an illustration of the motivations that drive humans to seek answers to questions. He produced, again derived from his Glasgow classroom, an analysis of the development of grammar and language. As Christopher Berry shows, Adam Smith was no narrow thinker, but rather one who produced not only one of the greatest books in the history of social science, but also a wide-ranging body of work that remains significant today.
